[0031] See appendix Figure 1-5 In this embodiment, a cotton swab head forming device includes a forming station, which is equipped with an upper pressure plate, a guide plate 8, a conveying mechanism 1, and a forming mechanism 2. The upper pressure plate is located above the conveying mechanism 1, defining the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 1 as from front to back. The guide plate 8 is arranged along the front-back direction, and the front end of the guide plate 8 is bent outward. The conveying mechanism 1 includes a chain 9, on which a material support block 10 is provided, and the material support block 10 is provided with a support rod recess 11.

[0032] The forming mechanism 2 includes a cooperating upper pressure roller 3 and a lower pressure roller 4. Both the upper pressure roller 3 and the lower pressure roller 4 have a circumferential surface 5. The circumferential surface 5 is provided with a circumferentially continuous convex ring 6. The convex ring 6 of the upper pressure roller 3 and the convex ring 6 of the lower pressure roller 4 are staggered in the axial direction or are vertically opposite to each other. A gap is formed between the convex ring 6 of the upper pressure roller 3 and the convex ring 6 of the lower pressure roller 4 for the cotton head to pass through. The convex ring 6 has forming convex patterns. Both the upper pressure roller 3 and the lower pressure roller 4 are axially movable and adjustable on a drive shaft 7. The drive shaft 7 is height adjustable and has a gear 12 connected to its end. The gears 12 mesh with each other.

[0033] In this embodiment, the chain 9 transports the cotton swabs through the guide plate 8, which guides the cotton swabs to align to the left. When the two convex rings 6 are staggered, one convex ring 6 is set on the outer side and the other on the inner side. The inner convex ring 6 causes the cotton head to be concave and form a spoon shape. The cotton head can also enter between the convex ring 6 and the circumferential surface 5 and be flattened. When the two convex rings 6 are set opposite each other, the cotton head enters between the convex rings 6 or between the circumferential surfaces 5 and is flattened. The forming convex texture on the convex ring 6 can flatten the cotton head to form a gourd head.

[0034] For cotton heads of different sizes, the upper pressure roller 3 and lower pressure roller 4 are adjusted axially, and the lifting and lowering adjustment drive shaft 7 is adjusted accordingly.

[0035] The upper pressure plate seals the groove 11 of the support rod to prevent the cotton swab from jumping out; the drive shaft 7 is provided with an adjustment groove, and the upper pressure roller 3 and the lower pressure roller 4 are slidably positioned and connected to the adjustment groove; the drive shaft 7 is supported by the mounting base 13, and the mounting base 13 is slidably positioned and connected to the mounting plate 14. The mounting plate 14 is provided with a connection hole, and the mounting base 13 is provided with a strip hole, which is a mature technology; the drive shaft 7 can be connected to the motor through a synchronous belt and a synchronous pulley; the convex ring 6 and the circumferential surface 5 are treated with a rounded transition, and the shaped convex texture can also be set on the circumferential surface 5.

[0036] The above description represents the preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. For those skilled in the art, various improvements, modifications, or equivalent substitutions can be made without departing from the equivalent inventive concept disclosed in this utility model, and these modifications and substitutions are also considered to be within the protection scope of this utility model.
